So I have been spending 4-5 months of the year here in the summers for the last 12 years. Never had a visa/entrance issue. Sometimes to renew my tourist visa I will leave the country so times I have extended it and I have also overstayed it and paid the fine.
So yesterday it was that time again so I went to colonia for the day but when I was leaving the immigration officer told me that the law has recently been changed because of all the Colombians and venazulens and they are cracking down on people that “live” in the country with out a residency. He also told me that if I get the wrong officer when I came back in I could be denied entry as I have so many Argentina stamps in my passport.
Well this had me worried the whole trip and it almost ruined my chivito. Needless to say I breezed through immigration and and she didn’t ask me a single question but I want to know, has there been a change and what are the official rules on tourist staying over the 3 month limit? I never spend more the 6 months here in a 12 month period normally 4.5 months.
